2018 Conference of the Physician's Alliance Against Euthanasia

With legal euthanasia and assisted suicide now a
reality in Canada, we turn our attention to helping doctors and other health
professionals improve their skills so as to better care for patients at risk of
requesting death. This conference is an opportunity to learn from experts in
palliative care and psychiatry, as well as to meet colleagues from across the
country who share your concerns about the direction medicine is taking under
these new laws.

The learning objectives for the conference are as follows:

Improve knowledge and skills related to analgesia at the end
of life

Recognize existential distress in terminally ill patients

Knowledge of the indications and method for prescribing
palliative sedation
